WEST FROM CICERO

EAT SHIT, BEEF

Shrimp & Egg eyeball
home penetration
neither caritas nor clarity
left in the car
all but me or mine
onward to the exit of time

birds turn into birds
different seeming in intelligence and habit
natural gasses could do more with suzerainty

as a finger folds back the pink gills
in the sky

I leave you to study how the earth was used today

to get over
itself
